Sunshine on Leith
★★★★☆ High quality
The Bohemians Lyric Opera Company’s production of Sunshine on Leith at the Church Hill Theatre is tuneful, colourful, emotionally direct and builds up a considerable head of steam.
Dogfight
★★★☆☆ Heartfelt
Dogfight, from Thistle N’ Thorn at Paradise in Augustines for the Fringe’s first week, is a melodic and cleverly staged production.
Nativity! The Musical
★★★★☆ Sparkly and shining
Nativity! The Musical, Captivate Theatre’s seasonal offering at Fettes, is ideal Christmas fare. Full of joy and melody, it sometimes lacks polish, but never lacks heart.
One Man Two Guvnors
★★★★☆ Snappy
There is a great deal of fun to be had in Captivate Theatre’s production of One Man Two Guvnors, Richard Bean’s knowing adaptation of Carlo Goldoni at the Rose theatre for the final week of the Fringe.
